I'm new to the breed but totally love what I've seen so far. They are calm, friendly, easy going birds who seem to prefer free ranging but do well cooped too. 4-5 eggs per week per hen seems to be average (so far), and they are prone to broodiness, making excellent mothers.
I now have Silver Grey adults and 'teens', a few colored hens, and red and colored chicks. There seems to be a lot of color variation in the colored, but I think with patience and careful breeding that can be minimized somewhat.
Every day they remind me why I love these calm friendly birds, and every day I dream for more. My goal is to have 3 quads of each color going (1 roo, 3 hens).
